David was quick to respond and very thorough in his approach to the changes made to medical self-certification for recreational diving in response to Covid-19. Communication was clear and concise, making the process from start to end very easy. David was able to accommodate an appointment within just a few days of contact and put me at ease from the moment I arrived talking me through the process step by step. The examination was very thorough and tailored to the requirements essential for medical clearance. David is exceptionally knowledgeable and is happy to expand or explain any queries you may have during or after the examination. I would highly recommend David to others."

Mike Cook, PADI Diver

“I was so very pleased with my consultation. This BSAC diving medical was useful for both my diving and general health. Dr David Carey put me at my ease; talking with him is so easy. He performs an elegant, quality analysis. His explanations of my health problems and their potential effects were wonderfully clear. Kind of wishing I had spoken with David Carey twenty years earlier!

Very thankful for the BSAC requirement for a medical assessment else I would not have met David Carey. This easy appointment corrected more than one decades-old health issue.

Top notch and worth every bean.

Thank you so much, David. Very, very pleased.”
